You mean the one on her right shoulder? It must be pretty noticeable because, like you said, the outfits she wears always cover it up (I only say always because I personally have not seen any pics/vids where that shoulder is exposed).

I was personally amazed when I found out about the japanese attitude toward scars. There was even a morning dorama (Sakura) where it was a major storyline. Even years after a bicycle accident, the character who felt responsible for it couldn't face the woman who got a one centimeter scratch behind her shoulder and she would never wear clothing which would reveal it.

When I asked a japanese friend about it she shared the same sentiment. If she had even a tiny scar she would be ashamed for life.

I'm actually curious as to what the scar looks like. Kinda morbid, I know.

They edit it out of most things, but there are times you can see it. I don't have the video handy or I'd cap it, but you can see it in the Lucky Cha Cha Cha PV.

Thanks for the heads-up on the PV dude!!! I checked it out and you're right. At certain times it IS visible.

As for Nacchi's scar, I know she explained it in her Futarigoto, but I forgot where exactly it came from. I think it was from walking home with her eyes closed and walking into a pole.

Unfortunately for me [HPS] chose NOT to sub Nacchi's Futarigoto (I think I remeber one of their people saying that certain ones weren't subbed because they were deemed boring/not interesting enough ), and I don't understand Japanese, aside from the odd word here and there. But we all know you're trustworthy, so I'll take your word for it.

As for my noticings, there's always Ayaka's mole under her lip:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...Ayaka-chan.

Also, certain members have connected earlobes, others are loose.

Now we're getting into the obsessive, I think. But that's ok. IT'S ALL GOOD!!!

Nacchi will either tip her head to her right or look straight at the camera; she very rarely tips her head to the left for pictures.

I noticed that too!!! It's yet another example of her stunning cuteness!!!

I've been wondering why Biyuden's Erika looks weird to me and then I remember something, she fixed her teeth. I remember when she won that soloist audition or whatever back in late 2003, one of her front teeth protrudes out a little (sorry couldn't find a better cap). And now she smiles like a Cheshire Cat with her 1000 teeth

If any Reina fan has more pics of her where you can see her thigh unedited and stuff, maybe you could check if she really has a scar or if that is just some dirt on the picture (doubt it, though). I haven't got many pics like this of Reina, myself.

They used to vaccinate people by making little cuts to their arms and rubbing the powder-vaccine to the wound. I wonder if they still use that method somewhere... Anyway I don't believe it's the case with Nono's shotgun-vaccinated arm
